Class notes on maps

So in class today we were taking notes on different maps on how they were different. How they were the same. What we liked and what we didn't like about them as well. So one of the maps was a map of only the United states and it had many of the states labeled but no other continents or countries besides that. So that map was not classified as a world map, I don't know what they map is called though. That map is showing us topography as it showed us highways, airports. It also showed us some rivers and the key showed the scale of the map.
The second map was a Gal stereographic map and that map instead of just showing the United States it showed all of the continents. Also is showed all the countries too, but it did not show the states within the United States like the first map.
The third one also had all the continents but the were bigger than the second map and probably more accurate. On this map all the oceans were labeled as well unlike the other two maps. This map doesn't have a good key, but the first two did.

My review on the presentation

Yesterday we did the presentation on our given countries. My group which consisted of Chris, Hannah, Banks, Tom, and myself; we had the Country Kenya. Kenya as I said and as Hannah said, they are a developing African-American nation with a very high unemployment rate of 40 percent. I did the slide on energy and electricity access which was one of the factors of Kenya issues and problems. They had no one working in their factories and that was why they weren't producing any crude oil, and that was part of the reason of why their unemployment rate was very high. Over 13 million people within the population didn't have access to electricity. I think that I personally did a good job on the presentation, I gave a lot of information on my topic, and I clearly stated the energy problem which was the main part of the rubric So I would give myself a 97-100 because I did everything like giving information and stating the problem right, but I had to look at my note card a couple times

Group presentation Notes

What is one main issue with energy in Kenya? In Kenya they have a huge number of people who don’t have access to electricity. That number is over 13 million people out of their population. Thats around 44 percent of their people. How does this affect the country?                           This affects the country because that means that over 13 million people don’t have access to cell phones, toilets, computers, or even cars. These are all objects that in many countries almost everyone has, and we take for granted. These are two of the paragraphs that will be on my slide about energy and electricity. My group is doing the country Kenya, which is an African-American country who is developing and struggling with their economy. I am writing about what some of the issues are and how they can be resolved
